Is it permissible for a virgin girl whose father and paternal grandfather are not alive to conclude a temporary marriage with a married man without presence of witnesses and without permission from her mother and brothers? Can the girl and the man recite the formula of temporary marriage themselves?

Is temporary marriage with a girl allowable without permission from the girl’s father? Stipulating that the father’s permission be sought makes such marriage impossible since no father gives such permission to his daughter and this would result in sinning.

I read somewhere that if a girl is independent in all matters of her life, she can conclude temporary marriage with a man without her father’s permission. In such a case, the marriage contract is valid, though she has committed a sin. Please explain more.

I am about to marry a girl. I’m almost a religious person and religion takes priority in my life. However, she says she is not very religious and she has taken her beliefs from other members of the family especially her brothers’ wives. She says she cannot observe fast because she is a teacher and fasting causes her to feel weak. She also says she does not offer her prayers regularly and does not care about it very much. Nevertheless, she says she observes moral rules and promises to observe hijab to the extent that satisfies me. Now I don’t know what to do. It should be added that my parents agree with the conditions put by her family.
